Bang...... Bang...... Bang......

In northern Kenya, gunfire erupted.

Falling along with the gunfire were the wild animals of Africa, in order to make way for pastures, bison, lions, warthogs, hyenas, leopards, zebras on the African savannah......

Everything that could be seen and seen suffered, and the East African colonies first set fire to the grasslands.

The animals were driven away by the fire, and the unlucky ones who could not escape were killed in the flames, and some were lying half-dead on the burned ground and groaning in pain.

There are still some places that cannot be covered by the fires, and East African immigrants have to take matters into their own hands.

At present, the life of East African immigrants in East Africa can be summarized as farming, fighting, and arson.

Farming, naturally, is the number one priority in East Africa, and it is not difficult to understand.

In order to deal with the acquisition of land, East Africa often clashed with indigenous forces, so it is not surprising that the East African colonies did not fight.

Arson is more bizarre, land to open up wasteland to set fire, to open up residential areas to set fire, to eliminate the living environment of animals or to set fire.

There's nothing more time-saving and effort-saving than setting a fire to the African savannah during the dry season, and the whole of East Africa presents a pristine wild beauty of slash-and-burn farming.

The development of the East African colonies can be said to be on the same page as blacks and wild animals, and there is no reason why people and animals can be exterminated as long as they are local indigenous people in East Africa.

Ernst wants to emphasize that he has no prejudice against the indigenous people, and that it is entirely due to conflicts of interest.

The land of Africa is not dominated by blacks, but by herds of wild animals spread evenly throughout the sub-Saharan Desert from south to north.

Except, the rainforest, which is a real forbidden place for humans, no one knows what is hidden inside.

The African savannah is basically seen by some regulars, typical of which are lions, wildebeests, elephants, zebras, hyenas, dingoes, warthogs......

The entire African savannah of more than 8 million square kilometers of land, from West Africa to East Africa all the way to South Africa, is basically these guys.

Ernst didn't feel distressed at all when he was killed, because he couldn't finish it, let alone exterminate it.

In fact, there is no awe in Ernst's heart for species extinction, and he didn't know how many species were extinct in the news in his previous life, and the earth did not turn the same way.

Moreover, Ernst did not fail to give these animals a way to live, and blamed them for being born in the wrong place.

The East African colonies pursued the principle of destroying everything wherever immigrants went.

Now East Africa is vast and sparsely populated, and immigrants are all picking good places to live, those ravines, primeval forests, deserts...... I don't even bother to go.

For example, in the Serengeti grassland, a large area (about 30,000 square kilometers) that Ernst has no intention of developing, is considered a nature reserve.

In order to develop Africa, it is natural to use thunderous means, and a large number of grasslands and forests are inevitably destroyed.

In fact, Ernst practiced slash-and-burn farming with another purpose, which was to break the local ecosystem.

Africa is a hotbed of diseases, not only for people, but also for animals.

In his previous life, Ernst was most impressed by African swine fever and African horse fever.

African swine fever is simply the "AIDS" of pigs, and it has been an incurable disease for more than 100 years since it was first discovered in Kenya in 1927, and no effective vaccine has been developed until Ernst crosses.

Moreover, African swine fever spreads widely, ravaging the whole of Africa, while also gaining a firm foothold in Europe, the Americas and Asia are not immune, and even the cold zone of Russia has African swine fever.

In areas where African swine fever is found, it can only be solved by large-scale sanitization, and basically live pigs within a few kilometers of African swine fever are not spared.

African swine fever is extremely contagious, with a mortality rate of up to 100 percent, and only infected pigs can be eliminated after discovery, blockade, culling, disinfection, and harmless treatment, and there is no effective means of prevention and control.

The original vector of African swine fever was parasites such as soft ticks, and African horse fever is also a disease transmitted by parasites such as midges.

Africa has been suffering from parasites for a long time, so the East African colonies faced the same problem if they wanted to engage in animal husbandry.

Of course, these two diseases did not exist in this era, but Ernst did not dare to bet on them.

Burning wasteland is the most economical and trouble-saving means, and one size fits all, and this is the condition of this era.

Ernst's first cut was on the heads of East African animals, which are hosts of various diseases and parasites, and pose a threat to livestock in their own right.

Therefore, it is necessary to clean up the animals in the pasture, and with a fire, the living environment of those parasites can also be destroyed.

When the rainy season comes, new pastures will grow in the pastures, and it will be much safer for East Africa to put cattle and horses in the pastures.

……

"Andrey! This pork is all roasted, I can smell the aroma, what a pity! Porter Young said as he looked at the warthogs that had been hit by the fire.

"Hehe, don't even think about it, the above has instructed that all the carcasses of animals will be cremated, and although the game is good, it must have a life to withstand it." Andrei said.

"I can't see any harm in this thing, isn't this just a pig!" Porter Young retorted.

"This is not Eurasia, and just because you look at something that is not a threat does not mean that it is safe.

Especially these wild animals, when they first arrived in East Africa, they could survive without food, and now they have no shortage of food, so why gamble with their lives.

Don't be unconvinced when I say this, these are the experiences accumulated by the local aborigines with bloody lessons, animals in the tropics have a large number of parasites and diseases in their bodies, and rash consumption is likely to cause serious consequences.

At the beginning, I saw a native, good fellow, who had no whole piece of his body, it was all parasites, and I didn't eat well for three days. Andrei taught.

The natives that Andre saw were not actually infected with parasites by eating wild animals, and the unlucky guy was caused by drinking unclean water, but it did not prevent Andrei from using this incident as a negative teaching material.

There are not a few examples of African aborigines infected with various parasites, and unlike immigrants, the aborigines don't even wear clothes, eat and drink, so the old immigrants are well-informed, and with the popularization of science in the colonies, they dare not violate the regulations.

Porter Young was obviously reminded of some bad memories by Andre's story, and hurriedly said: "I really didn't pay much attention to it before, and I also saw a native, who didn't wear shoes, and his feet didn't look like they were gnawed by something (sand fleas), and he couldn't walk, and it was really scary to think about it now." ”

"Yes! So let's just obey the order honestly, the old men above are more knowledgeable than us, and they said that this is science. Andrei said.

"You're right, this science is indeed a good thing, at the beginning, those who didn't listen to persuasion, many of them were easy to get sick, and then they became honest, and I have to pay more attention in the future." Porter Young agreed.

……

In the evening, the migrants pile the collected animal carcasses on firewood.

The person in charge put the fire oil on it and lit it with a lighter, and in the raging fire, the carcasses of these animals also returned to dust and dust.

The grassland burned by the fire was scorched black, and when the rainy season came, it was full of greenery, but at that time, there was no wild animal in the grassland, and only the livestock raised in East Africa were active on the grassland.
